LiveWire Group, Inc. (LVWR)

Overview

LiveWire is an industry-leading all-electric vehicle brand with a mission to pioneer the rapidly growing two-wheel electric motorcycle space. The Company operates in two segments: Electric Motorcycles and STACYC.

The Electric Motorcycles segment sells electric motorcycles, related parts and accessories and apparel in the United States and certain international markets, while the STACYC segment sells electric balance bikes, electric bikes, and related parts, accessories and apparel in the United States and certain international markets. The STACYC segment launched an adult pedal assist electric bike in the United States in March 2025.

Electric motorcycles are sold at wholesale to a network of Independent Retail Partners, at retail through a Company-owned dealership and through online sales. Electric balance bikes and electric bikes are sold at wholesale to independent dealers and independent distributors, as well as direct to customers online. As discussed below, on September 26, 2022 as part of the Business Combination, the Company, which included LiveWire branded electric motorcycles and STACYC, became a separate, publicly traded company.

On May 18, 2026, LiveWire acquired substantially all of the assets of Dust Motorcycles, Inc. (“Dust”), expanding the Company's presence into the electric off-road market. Through the acquisition, LiveWire obtained an electric dirt bike platform that is being advanced toward production and is expected to complement the Company's existing electric motorcycle portfolio. The acquisition aligns with the Company's strategy to expand its product offerings and address additional categories of the electric two-wheel market. The Company determined the operations of Dust will be included in the Electric Motorcycles segment. Acquisition-related costs of $297 thousand and $424 thousand were recorded within Selling, administrative and engineering costs on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. There was no revenue recorded and a net loss of $274 thousand recorded for Dust operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s net loss was $18,213 thousand compared to $18,826 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and was $36,341 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $38,097 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The Company’s net losses reflect the early-stage nature of the Company’s business including investments in product development as the Company continues to focus on technological innovation that it expects will support future products and growth. The decrease in net loss of $613 thousand and $1,756 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, reflect the segment results and changes in interest expense, related party, interest income (expense), net, and the change in fair value of warrant liabilities discussed below.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Electric Motorcycles segment operating loss was $18,040 thousand compared to an operating loss of $18,003 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and was an operating loss of $34,741 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to an operating loss of $37,356 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Refer to the Electric Motorcycles segment analysis below for further discussion on the increase in operating loss of $37 thousand and decrease in operating loss of $2,615 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the STACYC segment operating income was $26 thousand compared to an operating loss of $261 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and was an operating loss of $945 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to operating loss of $1,574 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Refer to the STACYC segment analysis below for further discussion on the decrease in operating loss of $287 thousand and $629 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively.

In response to the market challenges facing the electric vehicle segment and the overall broader powersports industry, the Company is continuing to focus on strategic expansion of its product offerings. The Company commenced production in the second quarter 2026 of its two new 125 cc-equivalent mini-motos, the S4 HonchoTM products, which are designed to expand access and affordability for riders globally. The first units are expected to arrive at authorized LiveWire retail locations later in the summer of 2026. As the Company evaluates its long-term strategy and product offerings, it will continue to focus on cost savings to reduce cash usage while focusing on developing and producing profitable products to align with evolving customer preferences and broader electric vehicle adoption trends that will allow the Company to continue to reduce operating losses and fund its operations through profitability.

On August 22, 2025, LiveWire entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Mizuho Securities USA LLC, as agent (the “Agent”), under which LiveWire may offer and sell, from time to time at its sole discretion, an aggregate gross sale price of up to $50.0 million of shares of its common stock through the Agent (the “ATM Program”), pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-289699), which was declared effective by the SEC on August 21, 2025. LiveWire filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC on August 22, 2025 in connection with the ATM Program.

Business Combination

On September 26, 2022, the Company consummated a previously announced business combination and related financing transactions (collectively the “Business Combination”) pursuant to a business combination agreement, dated as of December 12, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among AEA-Bridges Impact Corp (“ABIC”), LiveWire EV Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (now known as “LiveWire Group, Inc.”), LW EV Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), Harley-Davidson, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (“H-D”), and LiveWire EV, LLC (“Legacy LiveWire”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of H-D.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, ABIC was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing stock for the net assets of ABIC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of ABIC were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded resulting from the Business Combination. The Business Combination resulted in net proceeds of approximately $293.7 million. The Company also assumed the Public Warrants and Private Warrants upon consummation of the Business Combination. See further detail in Note 8, Warrant Liabilities, to the consolidated financial statements.

2026 Outlook

For the remainder of 2026, LiveWire's focus is on the introduction and delivery into the market of its two new 125 cc-equivalent mini-motos, the S4 HonchoTM products, and continued advancement of the Dust electric dirt bike platform towards production. Additionally, the Company remains focused on continued network expansion, cost savings and improvements, product innovation and development focused on profitable products, and continued growth of the STACYC segment.

Business Combination, the Company, which included LiveWire branded electric motorcycles and STACYC, became a separate, publicly traded company.

During the third quarter of 2025, the Company initiated the “Twist & Go Promotion” offering temporary pricing incentives on its S2 electric motorcycles from August 28, 2025 to October 31, 2025, which resulted in increased sales volumes in the third quarter of 2025. In late October 2025, the promotion was extended by the Company through December 15, 2025.

LiveWire’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $75,114 thousand compared to $93,925 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024. LiveWire’s net losses reflect the early-stage nature of LiveWire’s business including investments in product development as LiveWire continues to focus on technological innovation that it expects will support future products and growth.

As the Company evaluates its long-term strategy and product offerings, it will continue to focus on cost savings to reduce cash usage while focusing on developing and producing profitable products to align with evolving customer preferences and broader electric vehicle adoption trends that will allow the Company to continue to reduce operating losses and fund its operations through profitability.

Business Combination

On December 12, 2021, H-D entered into the Business Combination Agreement with ABIC, to effect the separation of its electric vehicle business. On September 16, 2022, the Business Combination was approved in an ABIC shareholder vote, and it closed on September 26, 2022.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, ABIC was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of LiveWire issuing stock for the net assets of ABIC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of ABIC were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded resulting from the Business Combination. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of Legacy LiveWire.

Upon closing of the Business Combination and PIPE Investments, the most significant change in the Company’s future reported financial position and results was an increase in cash due to net proceeds received of approximately $293.7 million, including a $100.0 million investment from the Legacy LiveWire Equityholder and a $100.0 million investment from certain members of the KYMCO Group, through a PIPE. Additionally, the increase in cash reflects the amount of cash released from ABIC’s trust account of $13.6 million (net of the SPAC share redemption amount) and the $100.0 million equity backstop (the “H-D Backstop Amount”) provided by H-D in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.
